**ACDE Recap - this was a big one, so brace yourselves! Dencun**

*   Teams are satisfied with how Goerli went: issues have already been triaged, fixed, and new releases shipped. We are therefore keeping our Sepolia/Holesky schedule. **Client teams should have a release out with activation set for both testnets by early next week**. See EIP-7569 for epochs/timestamps. CL spec was just released, too (see **⁠**announcements)
    
*   We tentatively agreed to move forward with this JSON RPC PR ([https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/486](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/486)) once (1) we've merged the 4844 naming changes ([https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8095](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8095)) and updated the PR to reflect those, and (2) ideally have **@RyanSchneider** (or another future user!) confirm that the JSON RPC PR looks good
    
*   We're good to deploy the 4788 contract to mainnet. First one to do this and post a txn hash here gets their gas refunded
    

**Prague/Electra**

*   Lots of conversation on the call, won't summarize everything here. If you care about what's going in the fork, make sure you watch the recording!
    
*   EL teams agreed that we should aim to do a fork in 2024, which likely means excluding Verkle and having it in the next fork. That said, there is likely bandwidth for one "harder thing" in that fork.
    
*   All EL teams agreed that 2537, 6110 and 7002 should be prioritized in the next fork. I've drafted a Meta EIP to reflect this, and given 2/3rd of these EIPs also involve the CL and we didn't get a formal +1 from them, I've put all 3 in the "CFI" bucket for now: [https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8121](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8121)
    
*   On the next ACDE, we'll discuss the 3 potential "big things": Verkle, EOF and 4444. If you have specific questions/points you'd like to cover about those, please raise them on either the call agenda ([https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/943](https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/943)), here, or with the champions for those initiatives.
    

**Hopefully, after that we have a feel for where Verkle should go, and what space is left in Prague!**
